One in the afternoon. We let our sorellina sleep a bit because she's a teenager, but this is a bit much.

I'm walking to her room, to make sure she is alright. She's probably already awake and waiting to get out.

When I get to her room, I see that the door is opened. We locked it.

I go into her room. No sign of her. The windows are not broken, no sign of a kidnapping. Maybe she got lost?

I decide to text Stephan and Leonardo.

E: Anyone seen Avery? She's not in her room

L: She's missing?! Are you sure she's not sleeping?

S: I'll check the video footage. You guys should look in the hallways

E: Put the house on lockdown

I walk around, trying to find Avery. She couldn't have escaped, right? We're the Italian mafia. How could a sixteen year old trick us?

I was about to turn a corner leading to the East wing when I saw a beat up guard on the ground.

There was an intruder in the house. The intruder probably took Avery. I can't believe it.

Judging by the wounds on Jimmy, the guard, it was an heavily trained agent. His badge is missing. He was smart, he took it to pass the door. But how did he pass the gate?

I was brought out of my thoughts by my phone ringing.

"What?" I rudely answered, without even checking the caller i.d.

"Elijah, near the east wing is a beat up guard. Go to him." I recognized the voice as Stephan's.

"I'm already there. An intruder beat him up. Do you have his identity?" I asked.

"Yes. But it's not an intruder"

"What?! One of our mans kidnapped Avery? Who? He's dead" I yelled through the phone.

"It's not a he. It's a she. And it was Avery who beat up that guard. She stole his card and climbed the gate without any help."

Is he fucking kidding? Avery is just a 16 year old teenager. She can't do that.

"If its a fucking joke it's not funny"

"It's not a joke, I promise. She was born for this life. I'll send you the videos and you meet Leonardo and I in dad's study."

Guess she's not so helpless after all.

They all approved me and treated me like they knew me for a while, even if they still made jokes about Angelo and I.

I learned that Audenzia is actually Angelo's twin sister. They did look similar but I didn't wanted to say something weird in case they dated or something.

The café was closed and we were eating the pastries leftovers. The twin's mom wanted all pastries to be fresh, meaning made the same day as sold. If they had leftovers they'd either eat it or give it to homeless people.

"So Avery tell me, how did you meet my brother exactly?" Audenzia asked me, sitting on the kitchen counter while munching on a blueberry muffin.

I look at Angelo, silently asking him if I should tell her everything.

"Well, I came here with my aunt to eat some ice cream and when she went to pay the bill Angelo came to talk to me. We exchanged numbers to hang out because he was cool." I shrugged, not going into much details.

"So did you guys texted? Hung out?" Gianni asked me.

"Both" Angelo simply replied

They gasped. Dramatic much?

"So she was the one you were with yesterday morning, Angie?" Audenzia asked.

"Yes" We both responded at the same time.

"Aww! Do y'all see how cute they are!" Matteo gawked. "Where do you go to school Avery?"

That's right, school is starting in a few days. I don't know how long I'll be in Italy and I need my education. I should talk to Cora about it.

"Well, I came to Italy because of..." I thought a bit. I couldn't exactly say 'Yeah my mom was kidnapped and I came to meet my dad and I also have brothers. They're all super rich by the way'. Would've seemed weird. "Family problems. I don't know exactly how long I'll be here, but I'll ask my aunt. I can't miss out on school, you know"

"So we go to Glass River High school. You should totally ask your aunt if you can attend!" Audenzia screamed "Another girl with me, a dream coming true."

(Idk if in Italy they work with the American system, but when I did my research about it, the answer wasn't really clear so I just said "I don't have time to make a deep research on the subject". Sorry if people think it's offensive for some reason)

The guys scoffed at that.

"Whatever, babies. Avery is really chill, unlike other people we know" She said while giving them a 'you know who I'm talking about' look.

"Bitches at your school?" I asked

"Those puttas are everywhere! But there's a lot at our school." Matteo screamed

"Can't find a decent girlfriend!" Gianni whined

"That's because of your face and personality, loser" Angelo told him with a duh tone.

"Well, you didn't kiss anyone for months! You're an even bigger loser!" He clapped back.

"whatever" Angelo rolled his eyes "I don't need any more crazy girlfriends"

There was an awkward silence during which the three others looked back and forth between Angelo and I. We just made awkward eye contact together.

"A-VE-RY AND AN-GE-LO SHOULD BE TO-GET-HER!!" Audenzia danced

Matteo and Gianni looked at each other, shrugged and joined her. They danced like that for like 20 minutes straight.

"Well, that's awkward" I told Angelo.

"Very" He chuckled "I apologize for my sister and the trolls"

"No problem, I don't mind it's not like we're really together anyway"

I realized they stopped dancing and were looking at us. Yikes.

"Wanna go watch a movie?" Matteo asked us all.

We all agreed.

The twins were arguing about the movie and Matteo was getting snacks.

"Can I borrow your phone? I need to call my aunt and I forgot mine." I asked Gianni

"Yeah, no problems!" He handed me his phone.

I thanked him and went to another room. I had a note of my aunt number on my arm. Never know when you might need it, like right now.

I dial it. I'm pretty sure now they know that I'm 'missing'.

"Hello? Who is this?"

"Hey, Auntie! How are you doing?" Yes. I'm playing the chill act. Note the word ACT. Because I'm certainly NOT chill right now.

"HOW ARE YOU DOING?!" She yelled. Bad, bad sign. "DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YOU WORRIED US?!"

"I'm sorry. I just didn't like being a prisoner" I kind of apologized.

"Where are you?" She asked more calmly.

"I'm about to watch a movie with friends. At Angelo's. Please don't come right away. I'm having fun." I pleaded

"I'm coming in three hours. If you're not outside I'll come in and take you myself." She warned me "Your brothers and father are so worried about you. They'll be mad at you when you come back, that's for sure." She started getting normal again "By the way I heard you beat up a guard and climbed the gate? That's so cool! Respect. Don't tell yur father I said that"

"See ya in 3 hours Cora!"

"Remember, no more than that" she said with a threatening voice. "Bye"

"Bye"

I ended the phone call and went back with the others. I handed Gianni his phone back.

"Thanks"

"No problem" He smiled at me.

I saw that Angelo lost the battle, since we're watching she's the man. I really love this movie.

"I have the snacks people!" Matteo arrived with lots of bags of candy and popcorn.

"Start the movie!"
